In less fraught times, there would be occasion for much pomp and celebration at the Poway Post Office this month.

Another time, another panic. https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/pomerado-news/opinion/editorial/then-and-now/story/2020-04-16/then-and-now-when-polio-terrorized-poway
As we self-quarantine and practice “social distancing” in hopes of neither contracting nor spreading the dreaded coronavirus that dominates the day’s news, we look back to an era when fear of another little-understood illness gripped our town and the country.
For about 100 years, agriculture was the big player in Poway.
This also affects us. The Heritage Museum and Nelson House will both be closed and the rummage sale scheduled for March 14 has been postponed.

When Poway incorporated as a city in the fall of 1980, we finally had our first City Council, and our first official mayor.
Grocery wars, Poway style.

The announced closing of Vons, one of the last two traditional full-service supermarkets here, got me thinking about what Poway residents have had to do to get groceries through the years.
Another video from San Diego. Poway Road, traveling east from 395 (now I-15) to just west of what is now the Poway city limits. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R1xfS3kSNkE
Thanks to Adam Grofcsik of Scripps Ranch Historical Society for spotting this c. 1972 video showing Pomerado Road, east from what was then 395. (It shows the route in both directions.)

Bernardo Winery, founded in 1889 on land that had been part of the massive Rancho San Bernardo Land Grant, is the oldest continuously-operating winery in San Diego County.
In 1965, the population of Poway was 8,862 -- up from 1,154 in 1955 and 300 in 1945.
The Chamber of Commerce Telephone Director offers a snapshot of who we were, where we lived and where we shopped in this growing town.

We take a look at how Poway celebrated Christmas 61 years ago.
Articles are highlighted, but the accompanying news and ads shine a light of Poway of that time.
Big monitor preferred if you have access.

The first residents of Poway, arriving in the last decades of the 19th century, had all come here from somewhere else, mostly the eastern United States or Europe.
With the Poway Days Parade coming up, we take a look back at Poway parades from 1939 (80 years ago), 1964 (55 years ago) and 1979 (40 years ago).

Our 2019 Annual Meeting on June 10 at Templar’s Hall in Old Poway Park drew an enthusiastic crowd of “Old timers” and newer arrivals to hear a panel of “kids” who had grown up in Poway in the 1950s. The video is presented in five sections.
Sorry for the random order. Trying to get it sorted out.
Barb Johnson Nielson suggested we share some Poway-centric videos.
Here's one from Larry Himmel.

Members, guests and speaker mingled over lunch.

Poway life in the 1950s? It was different.
Dishes from the 1950s will be featured at out annual meeting, so we've turned to this vintage cookbook from Poway Garden Club for inspiration.
There's no date in the book, but it's from the early to mid-1960s. There hadn't been a great cooking revolution in the intervening years.

Join us at our annual meeting and learn what life was like in the very small town of Poway in the 1950s.
"Then and Now" in this month's Chieftain was focused on the telephone directory, but the changes in our roads and postal service at the time were just as big. We take a closer look here.
